[written on the back of an invoice for the spaying of the feral Luna]
Feral Luna Watches Everything
Feral Luna watches everything
as her babes climb all about her.
Golden-eyed, she peers into shadows,
discerning, recording
each footfall, every voice
of every human who tries to pet her.
A scruff of the ear,
a caress of the chin,
but be mindful, human!
She is not yours - do not
try to pull her into your lap -
snap-clawed, she'll scurry
under the armoire or
shelter under the couch
and from the safety of her secret nook,
she'll peer out for hours,
discerning, recording.
Feral Luna watches everything.
